The Lampard effect.
Frank Lampard’s return fell flat as aimless Chelsea slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Wolves.
Co-owner Todd Boehly would have expected a reaction – or at the very least to see Chelsea regroup – but he got another limp performance as they remain in the bottom half of the Premier League. Indeed, Wolves saw plenty of the ball and caused enough problems to keep Kalidou Koulibaly busy. Their issue, as it has been all season, was a lack of cutting edge and Toti Gomes’ tame header was the best they could manage.
Nunes has flattered to deceive since his £38million move from Sporting Lisbon last summer but picked a fine time to score his first goal. In contrast, Wolves’ combative and battle-hardened display was exactly what was required amid the crazy relegation fight which has enveloped half of the league.
